[PATCH RFC 1/2] drivers/base: export lock_device_hotplug/unlock_device_hotplug

[David Hildenbrand]

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuzn...@redhat.com>

Well require to call add_memory()/add_memory_resource() with
device_hotplug_lock held, to avoid a lock inversion. Allow external modules
(e.g. hv_balloon) that make use of add_memory()/add_memory_resource() to
lock device hotplug.
